The 104 is way better, i hate the handset and indices on the new 105, they are too soft for such a rugged design, i also loathe the vertical day window.
To be fair i also hate the horizontal date window

Tudor 76200 (silver dial)

Or

SBGW231

Which one brehs?

>>15697004
Vertical date completely ruins it.

>>15697007
I like it. Keeps the watch symmetry.

>>15697004
Both are shit but the new one is just the ugliest shit imaginable. At least the old one has that autismo factor which is ok for some people.

Im looking for a quality lumed nato esque strap. Willing to pay premium price.

Still looking for a nice luxury military/tacticool watch btw.

>>15697005

Pick one.

Which street fighter Seiko five did everyone get? I got chun li of course, and I dressed it up for the office with a nato strap! Between this and my Shinola Runwell, I’d say the collection is lookin great!

>>15697004
104 looks much better, but the god tier green dial version is too rare/overpriced now so not worth owning any version of it.

And so on. It doesn't exactly have to be Arnie-sized.

New get. It feels pretty good and the size is good for me. This is lume charged with a laser but I had it in the sun today and I could see it glowing in the shade.

>>15697084
Just buy a Speedmaster and be done with it.

How's the quality on cheapest natos natos? I'm only see them or erikasorginals for lumed straps.

>>15697171
It's a piece of nylon. You shouldn't be paying more than $20 for a nato. Cheapest ones on ebay are very nice I have a few.

>>15697138
Why do retards think people gets chronos because they want a speedmaster?

Won pic related on eBay auction. The seller isn’t the original owner and has noted that the crown has been changed. Is there any way I can find an oem crown and replace this one? I like the knurling on the oem more

https://www.watchuseek.com/threads/swiss-army-victorinox-crown-replacement.3280890/

Not sure tho. Try look up the movement and stem measurements and crown spareparts number. If all fails, write victorinox directly, maybe they have some parts or at least can tell you dimensions and spare part nr.

>>15697267
and I have to warn you, this thing is made for big guys

>>15697275
Wow, didn't expect that. Is it heavier than the G? How does it wear compared to it? Design is not mine but not bad either.

>>15697275
Can you describe how the nixon smells? Thanks

Page 2 in the PDF. But no crown yet. Or any dimensions of the stem, to see if the part i posted would fit it.

>>15697279
it's noticeably heavier then g
wears well, got used to it in a few days
when I put on g at the store, it felt so smaller compared to tne nixon that I was not sure if it's the big metal g I knew about, perhaps some baby g model

>>15697186
Whoops, nevermind >>15697288
also found the stem dimensions

https://www.ronda.ch/fileadmin/user_upload/Products/TA_BA/detail/5030/5030007.pdf

>>15697289
Heavy watches would annoy me, i think. Nope, that's the regular metal one. The plastic one would not look like metal, you could see that it's coated plastic. There is no small wersion of the G metal brick, i think. At least it would be named baby-g on the dial.

>>15697296
yeah, I know, I just tried to describe the first feel of doubt that came to my mind

>>15697300
No problem. I was also a bit too agressive with my knowledge, haha.

>>15697300
But how does the nixon smell? Serious question

Could someone explain the difference between these two straps?

>>15697319

>>15697316
>marathon tsar

Good choice, the Lancer looks way better than the marathon to me. Also great price, marathon would have costed you a bit more.

>>15697327
Then it’s just going to come to preference I guess. They both exist because SOMEBODY liked them. The only wrong choice here is going with one you don’t think that you’ll like

What's the vibe one Squale?

>>15697343
from the pics uploaded on the site I cant say I see the difference

>>15697011
Where can i get a strap of this texture?
I hate the look of most leather straps especially the smooth ones

>>15697361
The 1521 case is objectively gorgeous. People complain that their watches are built in china or something shady like that.

The urban gentry shills them hardcore and made a hideous watch with them so that's another mark against them

>>15697308
The MN style is adjusted by changing the length of the part that loops back on itself, so it'll likely be double the thickness in part. The paratrooper is just a single length strap, you adjust the part that the buckle hooks on to, I've got this exact strap from them but in olive and I cut the excess off to make the strap easier to put on, it also makes the strap thinner as it doesn't really double over itself for the most part.

>>15697384
Tbqh I think that squale being a case maker gives them just enough credit to put out sub homages without being outright alibaba tier about it.

Military luxury watches are the larpiest thing ever, they offer the opposite actual military wants, expensive devices that have a lot of downsides and less functions than actual quartz/smart watches useed by soldiers and action dudes.

>>15697570
You still see luxury watches issued sometimes, though. Usually in the Navy.

>>15697112
anon can you tell for how long lume lasts, and how readable is date, I heard it's quite deep because of solar

>>15697572
Does it still happen much though?
Most recent cases I can think of would be Marathon (which is hardly luxury), Yema being commissioned by the french air force, and Panerai by the italian navy.

It's an amazing watch and the best in his collection but it looks ridiculous on him.

>>15697661

>>15697674

>>15697670
The size isn't the problem, it is actually as good size for a larger wirst. It is the fact it's an ultra refined dress watch that cannot be worn casual. It needs to be worn with a suit and shirt. Not his style at all.

No, this board is good because other than Rolex trolls people will actually tell you a watch looks good unlike other watch boards that are so scared of hurting feels they do nothing but say "awesome!!!111" even if the attached image is of an 8 year old wearing his uncle's Invicta

everything about this looks cheap, and the cut numeral isnt helping it either. the second hand is the least of your worries

It's me again, still rocking my new vostok. It runs +5sec per day so far although I haven't exactly measured it, just compared it from time to time. Can I do even better or should I not risk it by opening it and moving that lever?

>>15697771
+5 seconds a day is extremely good for a boctok out of the factory and you should be happy with it. that's really good for a watch in general. some rolexs come out of the factory at +5 even though they're supposed to be suberlative chronomememes
>>15697748
iirc that watch is like $200 and supposed to look like a watch from ww1. so you shouldn't be expecting luxurious finishing

>>15697774
It's not exactly right out of the factory, that means not from meranom. It's from soviet.market and I think the guys there regulate them after putting them together, they also do custom vostoks for example. That' snice to hear, thanks anon!

>>15697780
then they did a good job regulating it
for any mechanical watch, unless you are getting into luxury chronometer territory where it's supposed to be +/- 3s or so, +/- 5s is good and even up to 10s is tolerable for many.
generally if you are only a minute out of sync a week or 5 a month it's fine. it's basically nothing

>>15697774
there is non-luxury finishing and then there is looking up the butt of a tube rivet

>>15697795
Isn't that the point? It's supposed to look like an ancient shitter

>>15697771
That's already very good for a movement like that, you provably won't get it any better. There's gonna be some positional variation in normal use anyway and it might drift with time. Without a timegrapher it will be a pain to adjust anyway.

I bought a SARB035 and it just made me want this even more.

>>15697867
I wanted this watch so much, but I thought 39mm was a little big for a basic 3 hander and the 34 was a little too small. 36 would be perfect but it had the double batons. I figured since the 36 was the odd one out with they'd change it in 2020 to match the others - but instead they kept the batons, made the 39 bigger and gave it the uglier dial, and discontinued the white dial 34. Fuck Rolex

>>15697833

You rotate the bezel to point north so you can get a better idea of the fractional directions, which will be useful if you're doing landnav without a proper compass for whatever reason.

Would I expect like 5-10 years intervals between service like a mechanical watch, or more?

>>15698502
that shit can probably go 50 years between servicing

>>15698502
>does anyone know how often you need to service hi end quartz like SD/f9 or citizen 0100?

GS 9f it's being wrongly said that the service interval is 50 years. I doubt its that high, but probably will be a lot of years, more than the average quartz, and keep in mind most of quartz shitters will last 10-15 years without breaking or even more, only battery changes and the watch will run fine for 3 years. Only seals and gaskets is something that eventually will start to fail, that happens to every watch, but its something does not happen fast.

Dumb shit as usual. There is no objectively good taste. You can very well argue about the quality of finish and technicial aspects of a watch but taste is entirely subjective. Stop being such a /fa/ggot. People shouldn't be ridiculed just because their watch doesn't conform to the idea of /wt/'s ideal style.

>>15698593

>>15698709
Oh the pictures from aliexpress say automatic and not submariner

Any chance i could find an aftermarket bracelet that will sit flush to the case? Is someone making replacement repro bracelets for old subs?

>>15698670
they don't make a Royal Oak derivative or in fact any attractive sport watch hence no presence in modern media

>>15698502
>SD
every 3 years on the fucking dot. Very high wear and sensitive movement. Service times are around 8 months btw have fun lmao

San martin

>>15698727
>reverso
>not attractive

>>15698727
Royal oak, overseas and nautilus are fucking ugly and just a meme. People only buy them to flex, not because they're good looking.

Rolex 6536
They did alright, some of the extra thickness on the san martin is the boxed sapphire crystal, but it would have been perfect if they used the thinner chink eta clone and shaved a mm off of the case thickness.

>>15697084
Recently flipped one of these, biggest fucking watch I've ever seen but the trit and bezel are amazing

What kinds of small, high quality objects do you guys like besides watches?

>>15698502
I have a seiko credor from the 90's, it's still dead on

how much size difference is there on hands of different movements(the holes)? can I just grab some random movement cheap china hands and fix up some bostok shitters that have fucked hands?

>>15698834
why not just buy the hands from meranom?

>>15698819
I've picked up quite a few knives over the years. I don't consider myself a collector but after a while you realize that you have way more than you'll ever need.
I've also been told by other people that I have a large music collection but I never thought of it that way

>>15698759
How thick is a 6538? The lorier website said it was 16 mm or something but that cant be right.

>>15698840
I also have knives and watches
I also collect Gundam models

>>15698733
>Very high wear
Explain?

>>15698847
I think he's full of shit since SD is supposed to have low wear

>>15698837
because the china ones go for 4 bux for a life supply of cheap hands, vs the 6 bux + shipping a set of meranom

I used to enjoy anime but lost interest in it due to personal reasons.
Lately I've been trying to save money to build a project car but life keeps kicking me in the ass. Plus it doesn't help that vintage car prices have gone insane in the last ten or so years

>>15698864
To be honest I don't like half of Gundam anime, I just like the model kits.
Also most anime, like most movies, is trash.

>>15698819
Sunglasses

>>15698819
Art statues and maybe board games if that counts.

>>15698849
Yeah that's why I'm confused. The long service times I can totally believe but every 3 years seems pulled out of his ass

>>15698819
Knives and mtg cards

>>15698826
based, do you have papers for it?
i.e do you know was it serviced once?
and mind posting it?

>>15698867
I could see getting into building the models because of the challenge aspect of it. I've thought about picking up watch repair but I'm not sure that I have the patience for it

>>15698883
Building the models is like bonsai. It's very relaxing pruning the nubs off the parts and shaving them down. Some people can slam them together in half an hour but it takes me a week with work and I enjoy it.
Also you might as well pick up some dirt cheap automatic or a movement and just try poking around with it. I think watchmaking is like coding, people think anyone can do it but it requires genuine interest or it's just not happening.

>>15698874
I also played MtG.

> I think watchmaking is like coding, people think anyone can do it but it requires genuine interest or it's just not happening
Yeah, that's definitely true. And I get the relaxing part of it. It's nice to be able to take your time and focus on something. It's why I had intended to start work on a project car in my spare time, but it's an expensive hobby even if you're just working on junk.

>>15698875
It's this model, although that isn't my website and mine doesn't have an engraving. Original strap too, but it kind of sucks because the leather is separating. I have some piece of paper in japanese that has the date 2017, so I assume something must have happened on that date.

Watches are all I really have time for. I don’t even have anything over $500 CAD

>>15698819
Surprised nobody has posted this but fountain pens. When I was a student I used to go looking around antique shops and stumbled into fountain pens, trying to find affordable pens at first then crazy steals. After that, I found a vintage longines and got into watches, which overshadowed fountain pens. It's funny how I used to think 500 for a Mont Blanc was crazy when now I justify much more for watches.

>>15698411
just save up for a real one, it's not that expensive

>>15698843
>How thick is a 6538? The lorier website said it was 16 mm or something but that cant be right.
I can't find anything listing the thickness, I'm getting the impression that rolex collectors don't like to give out too much information, anyway i dod find a side profile shot which makes me think the san martin is fairly close.

As for strap I'd repair original, or buy new similar looking one

>>15697771
I like that dial

>>15697771
That sure is orange. My eyes feel like the taste of extra-strong orange-flavoured candy, seeing that. It's extremely orange, holy shit. Get you clapped in irons if you're discovered in the Netherlands wearing that while not a citizen.

Soldier/action dude here. Very true. On my last deployment in Brazil I just wore my camouflage Swatch. Party thanks to that I could go unnoticed in the jungle and also stay off the heat cam of drones due to its swiss made cold battery. Literal life saver.

I've always had mixed feelings about the expensive side of the fountain pen industry. My first expensive one is going to be a resin body with a jowo nib which makes me feel stupid when I can't pull the trigger on a pelikan, expensive sailor, or a namiki but damn this is pretty

>>15699034
Purple is just two manly colors combined

>>15698989
Why does it age like this? Will the aluminum bezel on my vostok age in a similar way?

And here is a side profile of the new san martin looks pretty close actually

>>15699092
For the 6538?

>>15699066
It’s mainly from sunlight. More specifically it’s UV radiation that causes the aluminum insert to fade. The bezel stays glossy even when faded because Rolex put on a clear coat beneath the old bezels. It’s often said that salt water contributes too which is true but in a different way - chemical corrosion as a result of salt will wear down the clear coat over time and if you just left an old Rolex watch in saltwater for an extended period of time, the fading would end up looking quite different (and worse).

I have no idea how Vostok installs their bezels or how they treat them so I won’t speculate.

>>15699003
>swiss made cold battery.
What?

I'm trying to into watches, field watch style seems like a good starting point.
What's the wt recommend ones or what area should I be looking at

>>15699173
seiko arnie

>>15699173
field watches suck and are basically pointless

>>15699173
Get whatever you like, do not try to fit into some groups taste. You will like the watch less later if you buy it just to make some people happy.
Why did you chose field watches specifically? And what are some other models you also like but are unsure?

All i can say is, don't get into memechanical elitism like this board. Don't disregard quartz. You can own so many styles so much cheaper.

>>15699173
Hamilton Khaki is a quintessential field watch, cheaper options could be like Orient defender or a Timex Navi

>>15698494
Knowing IWC that shit costs like 18k, doesnt it?

>>15699197
Hamilton Khaki is a $500 watch that looks like a $100 watch, shit sux

>>15699192
Their simplicity and toughness, I'm often innawoods so thought would be nice and sleek. The stowa style is cool but I've just started looking. Thanks Anton.

It and colours like it ( like lavender) were used prominently by the Gay and anti gay (ascribing it to gays) community in the 1970s and to this day is used on more gender expression flags than pink is.
